Polegate Vacation Rentals

"The Grand has definitely seen better days but overall I enjoyed staying there. My room was beautiful and the bed was very comfy. The beachfront is very noisy at night with some 'interesting' people wandering around but I guess that it is because it is a touristy area. Brighton is not somewhere I would visit again. "

"I was seeing a band in Brighton with my two teenagers and decided to try this hotel. We really liked it! It was very reasonably priced, extremely convenient location, and our Seaview balcony room was spotless and very spacious. I've only marked down one star for facilities as the trim on the shower screen didn't meet the bath and the floor got soaked when we showered, so we had to use all of the towels to mop it up. Other than that, fabulous, and we would definitely stay here again. We didn't eat in the hotel or use the bath facilities so cannot comment on that."

"Highly recommend if you want a comfortable, friendly, no frills stay in a place maintained at a high standard. We had a very warm welcome from Aya (sp?) who was gracious and helpful to us in our exhausted and jet lagged state. Other staff members were very helpful with questions as well. Room 21 is on the third floor, which is quite a few stairs (no lift/elevator) so if you have any mobility challenges keep that in mind when booking. Spotlessly clean, the room had 2 chairs, table, bed with side tables, luggage stand, and mini fridge. A closet had hangers, safe, kettle with tea/coffee and one cupboard. There is no dresser so your clothes stay in your bags. Mattress is on the firm side. The bathroom is narrow with a powerful shower that has plenty of hot water. The sink is quite small with room for a toothbrush and little else as there isn't a countertop or vanity. No area for products or toiletry bags except one shelf above the toilet. Of course this is an older building and with that comes creaky floorboards and the occasional noise of another room's door closing as people are leaving in the morning. No needless bright lights from electronics in the room as I have often encountered in hotels once all the lights are off and you've got into bed. St James Street around the corner has a Co-op and Morrisons for any snacks you may need as well as cafes and restaurants."

"Clean room wonderful view of the sea close to all amenities very old hotel Quant but compfortable "

"Fabulous central location, small pool / sauna / steam room downstairs. "

"Good location with parking and train station opposite the hotel. Helpful and polite staff, clean rooms and communal areas. Good selection of food and juices for breakfast. Good value for money, I would definitely recommend."

"This was my third stay in the last month here. This is an old hotel and a bit tired in places. However, I keep returning because it is great value and the staff are very friendly. When I arrived this time, Sarah on reception offered me a room upgrade as the hotel was quiet - a lovely gesture and much appreciated. I’ll certainly be returning! "

"We loved every moment of our stay at The Alfriston."

"I really enjoyed staying in this hotel which is just a year old. The buffet-style breakfast had everything you could possibly want, with fresh food being added right until the end of the breakfast sitting, which ended at 11am. I found this hotel a perfect base for exploring Brighton City Centre and is also within a reasonable walking distance of Hove, where I enjoyed watching some cricket at Sussex County Cricket Club. Waling along the seafront is great fun not just for the fresh sea air but also for checking out a range of tourist attarctions such as the 'upside down house'."
